> Users of our clusters are often running up against their quota limits because
> of Hive tables. When they drop tables, they have to then manually delete the
> files from HDFS using skipTrash. This is cumbersome and unnecessary. We
> should enable users to skipTrash directly when dropping tables.
> We should also be able to provide this functionality without polluting SQL
> syntax.
